If we suspect yor are suffering from gingivitis or a more severe gum disease, we may recommend a root scaling or planing. These measures can be instructmental in preventing bone loss and helping you keep your natural teeth.
Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical procedure in which the periodontist removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line. Root surfaces are cleaned and smoothed with specially designed instruments.
It is important to remove the plaque and tartar from the pockets because aside from the bacterial toxins that irritate the gums, plaque and the rough surfaces of tartar make it easier for bacteria to gain a foothold.
